Over the weekend, Acer started pushing the Android 4.0 update to the Iconia Tab A200.

The Iconia A500 sports the standard specs that we've become accustomed to seeing out of Honeycomb tablets:

We just got word that the Android 3.1 update is rolling out in the US for the Acer Iconia Tab A500. The update brings all kinds of Honeycomb goodies, like resizable widgets, performance enhancements, improved multitasking, USB host support, and more.
